Why This Score

This event describes standard, routine democratic process - a party primary/convention selecting a nominee after a candidate withdrawal. There is no mechanism of constitutional harm, no threat to institutions, rule of law, rights, or separation of powers. It is normal electoral competition in a single state Senate race with narrow population impact. All A-score drivers are 0 as there is no constitutional damage indicated. On the B-score, this has moderate media interest as a competitive Senate race storyline but lacks manufactured outrage, strategic distraction elements, or intentional narrative engineering - it's straightforward campaign news coverage.
